Sittin' in the seat of my old olds

Pretty city lights down far below

Sittin' there soakin' up all of the heat of the fire

You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear

Never even get around to openin' those beers

Bein' here with you girl, nothing could get me no higher

Chorus:

It's a long way down

Baby, hold on to me

Never let me touch the ground

It's a long way down

Scared i'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around

Well, love for you is such a natural thing

You were born to spread those angel wings

Every time you touch me, swear i feel light as a feather

But it seems like every other corner i turn

There's another busted heart that's crashed and burned

Baby, just remember every time you take me to heaven

Repeat chorus

So, tell me once again how high we're gonna go

Take me far away from the world below

We could be the few that make it all the way together

'cause i could start this car and drive back into town

Land us both safe on solid ground

But after tonight, girl, you're gonna have to love me forever

'cause it's a long way down

Baby, hold on to me

Never let me touch the ground

Yeah it's a long, long way down

Scared i'm gonna fall without your lovin' arms around

Yeah yeah yeah. . .

Yeah yeah, take me higher

Take me higher

Take me higher, yeah. . .
